Definitions
- the invention relates to a measuring device for measuring the tensile stress of an optic fiber or a corresponding optic wire.
- An optic fiber is a thin glass fiber, whose diameter is ca. 150 micrometers.
- the optic fiber is used for replacing a copper conductor in telecommunications, since the data transmission capacity of the optic fiber is much higher than that of a copper conductor. Furthermore, there is no shortage of the raw material of the optic fiber, as is the case with copper.
- An Optic fiber is prepared in a so-called draw tower, which is a large-sized tower with a height of ca. 6-7 m, at the upper end of which molten glass is drawn downwards into a thin fiber.
- draw tower which is a large-sized tower with a height of ca. 6-7 m, at the upper end of which molten glass is drawn downwards into a thin fiber.
- the hot fiber goes downwards, it cools, whereafter the fiber at the lower end of the tower may be coated with the desired polymer in a special coating vat. After the coating, the fiber is transported after a tension meter onto a special roller, on which it is wound into a roll. It is known that bare fiber cannot be bent, since it breaks apart. After the polymer coating, the fiber is very resistant to bending.
- the draw rate is generally ca.
- a current fiber tension meter is a spring-loaded roller, via which an uncoated fiber advances. The rate of the loading indicates the fiber tension.
- a contacting roller easily breaks the bare fiber, and it is in fact only used at very slow draw speeds when starting up the drawing machine.
- an electro-optic meter may be mentioned, which on the basis of the double refraction of light measures the tensile stress of the fiber.
- the glass-fiber material is often quartz, in which occurs a double refraction of light comparative to the tension.
- a problem relative to this meter is the fact that the light has to be accurately focused on a movable glass-fiber of a strength of ca. 150 micrometers, whereafter the double refraction has to be measured.
- the deflection achieved according to this known arrangement is a single deflection, lasting for a short period of time only, while even a repeated deflection of the rope would cause additional waves deteriorating the measurement due to occurring interference and/or superposition phenomena.
- Such phenomena are due to the fact that the rope, which is used for transmission of forces, is fixed at both ends, such that deflections of the rope are reflected back from the fixed ends thereof.
- An object of the invention is to provide an improvement on the currently known measuring devices for measuring the tensile stress of an optic fiber or a corresponding optic wire.
- the inventive acousto-optic measuring device measures the fiber tensile stress by means of wire waves, when the fiber mass per length unit is known.
- the tensile stress of the fiber may be measured without contacting it such that also the advancing speed of the fiber is compensated for.
- the invention possibilitates an increase in the fiber draw speed max. 10-20 m/s or even higher than that, since the drawing speed may be measured reliably and sufficiently accurately.
- the principle of the inventive measuring device is the fact that an advancing vibration is produced into the fiber, whose advancing speed v is measured.
- a loudspeaker especially an enclosed loudspeaker, may be installed such that there is a narrow gap in the front wall of the enclosure, from which gap the sound wave surge may be discharged.
- the gap is parallel with the fiber such that the fiber is caused, due to the surge, to enter into a linearly polarized vibration similar to that of a guitar string, when it is plucked.
- the preferred vibration frequency of the surge for tension measurement purposes is in practise ca. 300 Hz.
- the invention is not especially accurately critical relative to the vibration frequency used.
- the advancing speed of the fiber vibration is measured optically at least at two different points, the distance therebetween being known.
- Fig. 1 shows a certain preferred embodiment of an inventive measuring device as a schematic view seen from the side.
- Fig. 2 shows the measuring device of Fig. 1 seen from the front.
- Fig. 3 shows as an axonometric view the vibration of the fiber in front of a location-sensitive electro-optic indicator.
- Fig. 4 shows as a graphic representation the measured advancing speeds of the wire wave for an optic fiber as a function of the tensile stress T.
- the measuring device is generally indicated by a reference number 10.
- An optic fiber 11 under tension is caused to come into a linearly polarized vibration movement by means of an acoustic surge, which is produced by a suitable device, such as a loudspeaker 12, preferably an enclosed loudspeaker.
- a suitable device such as a loudspeaker 12, preferably an enclosed loudspeaker.
- An electronic surge signal controlled e.g. by means of a computer 14 at a frequency of ca. 300 Hz, is led to the loudspeaker 12, which surge signal is modified into an acoustic surge.
- the bend 150 produced in the fiber 11 starts to advance along the fiber in both directions as a wire wave 15.
- the wire wave 15 advances the faster, the higher the tension in the fiber 11 is.
- the speed of the wire wave 15 is measured with at least two optic location-sensitive indicators 16, the distance L therebetween being known.
- the indicators 16 measure the location of a shadow 19 of the illuminated fiber 11 and its vibrations.
- the illumination of the fiber 11 occurs by means of an illuminator 17, which may be e.g. a LED-lamp.
- the illumination of the fiber 11 causes a shadow 19 onto the surface of an indicator, such as a camera 16, and the location of the shadow 19 may then be measured in real-time by means of the computer 14 connected to the camera 16.
- the location-sensitive indicator 16 is a so-called line-like semiconductor indicator, in which the location of the shadow 19 may be measured by measuring the voltage produced by the indicator 16.
- the indicator 16 is thus a certain kind of a location-sensitive linear camera that emits a signal, which is comparative to the location 19 of the shadow 19 of the fiber 11 in front of the camera 16.
- Fig. 3 shows in an illustrative manner the transverse vibration of the fiber 11 in front of the camera. It is important to observe that the loudspeaker 12 causes the fiber 11 to vibrate as a so-called linearly polarized vibration. This means that the fiber vibrates on its own level, and not e.g. on a circularly polarized level. Then, e.g. the optic measurement of the diameter of the fiber 11 is not disturbed, since the vibration occurs in the direction of the measurement.
- the wire wave 15 When the wire wave 15 advances along the fiber 11, the wire wave 15 naturally contacts the upper and lower end of the fiber 11 and is reflected back from these points, causing additional waves to the fiber 11, whereby these additional waves may also be observed by the cameras 16 as additional signals.
- the lower end of the fiber enters a coating vat 18, wherein molten plastic efficiently dampens the vibrations.
- molten glass There is on its part in the upper end of the draw tower molten glass, which also efficiently dampens the vibrations. In this way, the reflections of the upper and lower end are considerably dampened, and they do not thus very much disturb the measurement.
- Fig. 3 thus describes a situation, in which the fiber 11 vibrating in front of the camera 16 is illuminated e.g. by means of a LED-lamp 17, whereby the movement of the shadow 19 of the fiber focusing on the camera 16 may be electronically monitored.
- the electronic signal provided by the camera 16 is transmitted to the computer 14, in which it may be analyzed such that the speed v of the wave movement may be calculated from a formula (1) by means of conventional algorithms of the the computer 14.
- the drawing speed of the optic fiber is generally ca. 2-4 m/s.
- the speed of the wire wave 15 in the drawing occurrence is ca. 100 m/s in connection with draw tensions used generally. In the measurement accuracy, this means an error of ca. 2-4% due to the inherent movement of the fiber 11.
- the measurement accuracy is of the order 4-5% due to other factors, because of which the inherent speed of the fiber 11 is just within the limits of the measurement accuracy, and it is therefore not very detrimental.
- the inherent speed of the fiber 11 may be compensated for, when so needed, by means of two pairs of cameras 16, one of which is located "upstream” and the other one "downstream” relative to the loudspeaker 12. The speed compensation is of a great importance, since the drawing speed of the fiber is increased even up to 10-20 m/s or even higher than that.
- the effect of the error of the inherent speed of the fiber 11 may be eliminated also calculatively, in case the speed of the fiber 11 is otherwise known, by simply entering the speed value into the computer 14, which takes into account its effect on the tension value.
- the mass of the fiber 11 per length unit has to be known, which may be calculated by optically measuring the diameter of the fiber 11, when the total density of the fiber material is otherwise known.
- All fiber draw-towers include an optic fiber-diameter meter, which often also uses a so-called CCD-camera. Since the vibration of the fiber 11 is linearly polarized, the polarization of the vibration may be arranged such that it does not disturb the diameter measurement of the fiber 11.
- the vibration of the fiber 11 may also be detrimental to the drawing and coating of the fiber 11 itself such that it causes nonuniformity to the fiber.
- the amplitude of the vibration is in practise of the order of the diameter of the fiber 11, which, on top of all, is very rapidly dampened in the polymer coating vat 18 and in the molten glass of the upper end of the draw tower. Due to this, the detrimental effect of the vibration of the fiber 11 is in fact very minimal.
- Fig. 4 shows practical measurement results, on the basis of which may be estimated as the speed of the wire wave 15 advancing in the fiber 11 ca. 80-140 m/s at typical draw tensions.
- the inventive equipment may preferably be located in a frame 20 according to Fig. 2.
- the distance L of the indicators 16 from each other is ca. 50 cm.
- the tension is thus measured along a relatively short distance, of which it is known that the tension is constant.
- a considerable temperature gradient which causes the fact that even the tension is not constant along the length of the fiber 11. For example for this reason, a stagnant-wave tension meter measuring along the entire length cannot provide a reliable result.
